Abstract

Urethral prosthesis (10) including a first and a second arm (20, 30) that join to form a junction (40), and a stem (50) that is also joined to the junction (40). The junction (40) is adapted to exert sufficient pressure on a portion of a patient's urethra to prevent unintentional voiding of the patient's bladder. However, upon exerting a tension force on the stem (50), the pressure exerted by the junction (40) is reduced such that the patient's bladder may be intentionally voided.
